To The Editor: I think I see good news on the global warming front. More
and more scientists are finding the courage to stand up and say the king is
naked to the left’s claim that by burning carbon containing fuel mankind is
bringing a global warming disaster down on us.

1) The post 1850 warming is just one more in a series of historic
warmings.

2) The bulk of the carbon dioxide increase occurred after the warming.
To counterpoint 1 the 2001 UN IPCC report included a study by Michael
Mann that denied the medieval warming and little ice age. This study was so
widely discredited that the IPCC had to pull it from their next report. I
can’t help but think that this blow to their credibility has helped many
scientists to stand up to them. Hopefully this continuing reliance on
cherry picked data and bad science will further erode the credibility of
global warming “theologians.”

The left’s settled science is: Carbon dioxide concentrations have
increased since 1850. Computer models predict a 5C warming. 0.8C has been
observed: Therefore the warming is man caused.
Problems with this settled science are:<p>
1) The post 1850 warming is just one more in a series of historic
warmings.<p>
2) The bulk of the carbon dioxide increase occurred after the warming.
